During Chow Release, da'Kid loses sight of Parallaxboi, and focuses his attention to a head knodding Chally Boy from across the Chow Hall.

As da'Kid gets up to the exit the Chow Hall after eating, He makes eye contact with Chally Boy, motioning for Chally Boy to come to His cell after chow, Chally Boy knods his His head "Yes", while tapping on His wrist watch as a signal for "Later".

The End.

Parallaxboi-If a Pandemic can reach inside of a "crowded closet", in prison, and force death, then we can go into a "crowded closet," anywhere, and share humanity by spreading love, care, light and life, as we all fly, we still, need, a place to land.
